Little
Rabbit is a cute little fellow, but he's unhappy because he wants to be
someone else. He would like a long bushy tail like Mr. Squirrel or
bristles like Mr. Porcupine. One day Mr. Groundhog tells Little Rabbit
to go down to the wishing pond, look at himself in the water, turn around
three times and his wish will come true. When Little Rabbit gets to
the pond, a small red bird is sitting beside the water. Of course
Little Rabbit wishes for red wings. He gets his wish, but it takes all
day for his wings to grow. As it gets dark, Little Rabbit tried to
find a place to sleep, but everyone was afraid of him. They'd never
seen a rabbit with red wings. Finally Mr. Groundhog invites him to stay, but
Little Rabbit has a hard time sleeping on beechnuts! The next day he
tries to fly but lands in a bush of prickles and Mr. Groundhog has to rescue
him. This time Little Rabbit has had enough of his red wings. He
runs to the pond to wish them away. At last he runs straight home to
his mommy who is so happy to see her little rabbit. And as you can
guess, he never wishes to be anyone else again.
